Throughout history, entreaties have been a powerful force, inspiring sympathy and action. From I Want World Sympathy's heartfelt plea in 1930, to The Evils of Opium Smoking's impassioned warning in the 1800s, entreaties have moved mountains. The Letter of the Twelve United Colonies to the Inhabitants of Great Britain in 1775 was a desperate entreaty for freedom, while a Valentine's Day card featuring a pair of robins symbolizes love's gentle entreaties. Perpetua's unwavering resistance in an engraving from the 1800s stands as a testament to the strength of an entreaty's hold. The Expedition of Africa in the 1500s was launched at the entreaty of the Genoese, and Forain's Entreaty in front of the Cave captures the raw emotion of a heartfelt plea. An illustration for Persuasion shows the power of words, while Ruth and Naomi's bond was strengthened by their mutual entreaties. And in the soft hues of a Singer Green pastel, we find the quiet entreaty of nature's beauty.
